0–100, higher is better. How it is calculated

Cookie Assistant is a small technology company providing a SaaS cookie consent plugin designed to help websites comply with EU cookie laws. The service includes features such as an analytics dashboard, theme customization, multi-tenancy, and cloud storage of consent data. The website is professionally designed, mobile-optimized, and uses modern web technologies including Bootstrap, jQuery, Google Analytics, Mixpanel, and New Relic for performance monitoring. The security posture is generally good with HTTPS enforced and a functional cookie consent mechanism, but lacks explicit security headers and published privacy or terms of service policies. The absence of WHOIS registration data raises concerns about domain legitimacy, although the active and professional website presence mitigates some risk. Contact information is limited to an email address and a signup form, with no phone numbers or physical addresses provided.

This scan rated NIS2 with an earlier keyword method that is no longer shown; rescan for the per-article view. Risk management, continuity, supply chain, training, MFA, management oversight (Art. 20) and incident reporting (Art. 23) need internal evidence, and Guard cannot tell whether NIS2 applies to this organisation.

GDPR is indicative only, based on publicly visible signals: Articles 7, 12, 13 and 32 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive. Not a certification or legal assessment.

Priority findings

5 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Security headers

    Security headers are instructions your web server sends to every visitor’s browser. Missing ones leave visitors more exposed to attacks such as clickjacking and injected scripts.

    • High

      Missing Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…
  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Twitter, Google APIs

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

  3. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048
  4. DNS health

    DNS sends visitors and email to the right servers. Misconfigured records can cause outages or let someone redirect your traffic.

    • High

      Unregistered MX Record

      MX record points to unregistered domain: s7i3kjcwddw34mz6mesvjarsvcgqs23zcmjdzzrgmenmihlede2a.mx-verification.google.com

      What to do: Remove or fix MX record pointing to unregistered domain

      • RFC 5321 §5.1
      • NIS2 21(2)(i)
      • IR 2024/2690 12.4: Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 12.4: Asset inventory

Results by check

Each check with its score, findings and the evidence it collected.

How this score is calculated

The security score runs 0–100, higher is better. It is the plain average of the security checks that completed in this scan, each counted equally. A check that could not run is left out: it counts neither as a pass nor as a fail.

Not counted

  • NIS2 outside view: Re-weights evidence from the TLS, email, DNS, network and hygiene checks, so counting it would count that evidence twice. Shown on its own.
  • OffSeq Observations: An AI reading of the site, useful context but not reproducible evidence. Shown on its own.

Findings that cap the score at 49

Each of these is serious on its own, so while any is present the site cannot rate better than high risk, however good the other checks are.

  • The certificate is not trusted by browsers
  • The website is not served over HTTPS
  • A database, remote desktop, file-sharing or Telnet service is reachable from the internet
  • The page loads a script from a compromised source
  • The domain registration has expired
  • SPF authorises every server to send mail as the domain

Partial scans

When the site blocks Guard or most checks cannot run, the score covers only the checks that ran (usually DNS and email), is capped at 75 and is shown as partial, without a risk level.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

Cookie Assistant targets website owners needing EU cookie law compliance, offering affordable subscription plans including a free trial and lifetime access. The company positions itself as a niche provider with over 1,100 active websites using its service. It leverages partnerships with companies like Fomo and Cross Sell, indicating a collaborative ecosystem. The business model is SaaS-based with revenue from subscriptions. The website content and testimonials provide trust signals, but lack of detailed company registration or privacy policies may limit trust for some users. The marketing approach includes analytics and tracking tools to optimize user engagement and product improvement.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and implements a cookie consent banner, aligning with GDPR requirements. However, it lacks visible security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options, which are recommended best practices. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is published, and no security.txt file is found. The use of third-party analytics and monitoring tools introduces moderate user tracking, but no exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. Overall, the security posture is moderate with room for improvement in transparency and header configurations.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages to improve compliance and user trust.
  2. Implement and configure security headers such as CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Provide clear incident response contact information and consider publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file.
  4. Improve accessibility features to meet higher standards and broaden user inclusivity.
  5. Investigate and resolve the missing WHOIS registration data to ensure domain legitimacy and reduce suspicion.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern and efficient technology stack including Bootstrap for responsive design, jQuery for DOM manipulation, and integrates multiple analytics and monitoring services such as Google Analytics, Mixpanel, and New Relic. The site loads asynchronously and is optimized for performance with minified scripts and asynchronous loading of tracking pixels. The presence of a cookie consent widget script indicates compliance efforts. However, no CMS or hosting provider information is directly detectable. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization and SEO practices but could benefit from enhanced accessibility and security header implementations to reduce technical risks.
Standards and sources

Reference chips under each finding point to the standard, regulation or specification the finding relates to. They are taken from the official datasets below and mapped conservatively: a finding with no defensible link shows none. NIS2 and GDPR references mark where a finding is relevant evidence, not a compliance verdict. Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690 binds digital infrastructure and digital service providers; for other entities it is the most detailed public reading of the Article 21 measures. WCAG, EN 301 549, European Accessibility Act and Web Accessibility Directive references name the requirement an automated accessibility rule relates to; they are not a conformance verdict.
